Vincent Macropod in “Dismissed As Coincidence”
Posted by
Hello, one and all, and welcome to the second episode of Vincent Macropod. This ‘un’s also based on real events, though somewhat more, um, loosely than the first. For more details on its background, if you are particularly interested, there are annotations below – a new service provided by Macropod Entertainment and Dimfuture.net, and provided with a smile!
My deep and sincere thanks go out to everyone who said such nice things about my first cartoon, on this board and elsewhere. Your positive reinforcement reinforces me in a positive manner. Seriously, thank you.
This cartoon is dedicated to Andrea Cyr. Below come the annotations!
- So I was sitting on Andrea’s front porch, my back to the window, and I was very sad, and she was consoling me. (The troubles that led to the first cartoon still loomed large.) And I delivered the first line of this cartoon. On my uttering of “…vulnerable,” Andrea’s hand suddenly whipped out behind my head; the window had blown open, and, were it not for her fast action, I would have been quite seriously brained. So it would have gone, “I guess I’m just feeling very…vulnerable,” WHAM! Appropriate, yes, but possibly unhelpful to me. And hence, the cartoon, which sorta spins out of control.
- “Ymir from Venus” comes from the Ray Harryhausen movie Twenty Million Miles to Earth. Those who are familiar with this film know what will happen to Ymir in the future. I chose him as a stand-in for Andrea for really no reason at all.
- The satellite is based on a LEGO satellite I had awhile back.
- I’m not really at war with NASA, though I do wish they’d make with the moonbases and space tourism and the like.
- I really do like omelets quite a bit.
